one thing I immediately saw in the first couple chapters is the immediate comparison between edna and Adele ratignolle is how opposite they are in how they are as a woman as well as a mother. edna being described as a quiet and not as nurturing woman to her children while Adele is seen as a motherly woman who is graceful and obedient to her husband.
is Adele the way a woman should be? is she the way a perfect mother is? I was excited to continue to read as I learn more about edna as a character as well as Adele. I questioned if edna will change into the “ideal mother” and if Adele will switch from the graceful woman she is portrayed as.
